Oh for heaven's sake. Why do we say "lie" every time we correct someone nowadays? What's wrong with "I think you're mistaken"?

Another gift of polarized politics I guess.

They probably didn't see it but for qac company worth billions contributing under $999 is basically just nothing. It's like me contributing one cent, I'd be spending the same kinda size of my net worth as Apple is doing. I'm in the $50-$99 category however. Still not amazing but dollars are not cheap where I live.

It’s easy to miss when bunched together with names of hundreds of people who donated $500–$999. That’s the limit to what Apple could afford I guess.

I never thought about this before but is it possible that there was an employee who donated, and the $500-$999 was just the portion that Apple gave as the employee charity match? It would make a lot of sense, but it does make the donation look kind of hilarious.
